Chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) research. Actions that can be taken to mitigate the risk from CBRN materials are:

Assess

To gain an understanding of hazard and consequences, including analysis of physical evidence at the appropriate standard to enable its exploitation, including support to criminal proceedings.

Prevent

To reduce the likelihood of a CBRN release by deterring adversaries, preventing supply, disrupting or disabling offensive CBRN capabilities, eliminating existing CBRN stockpiles and programmes, and ensuring adherence to chemical and biological warfare (CBW) counter-proliferation treaties.

Respond

To reduce the impact of a CBRN release by detecting or diagnosing, providing physical protection and treatment, and an ability to manage the hazard.
